Shannon replied to the discussion 'How often do YOU practice?'"I try to hoop for at least 15 minutes a day. I'm still very new to hooping, so I'd like to have all the practice I can get, but by the time I get home from work in the evenings, 15 minutes is usually all I'm up for. I do try to…"
Shannon replied to the discussion 'Bruising from hooping!'"I'm amazed at the bruises I've gotten from hooping, I'm actually kinda proud of them. I hadn't expected to bruise too much since I'm pretty...padded, so it isn't like the hoop would be banging around on direct bone. But…"

circularlogic replied to the discussion 'Cramping feet?'"I rarely have this problem when hooping, but I used to get foot cramps from running & one thing I know about it is that proper hydration makes a surprisingly big difference. Are you drinking enough water? Another thing that helps is stretching…"
Shannon replied to the discussion 'Cramping feet?'"When I do wear shoes, it's tennies, and my feet do cramp, though not as bad. Right now I hoop on hardwood floors, but I'm thinking of finding my old yoga mat to put down, to cushion things a bit. Part of my problem may be my freaky-high…"
